From our “showtime” to your uptime

CONEXPO-CON/AGG®, held March 7–11 in Las Vegas, once again lived up to our high expectations. As always, the largest construction equipment trade show in North America was well attended and a great opportunity to meet up with customers, both on and off the show floor. The event also gave us the opportunity to share how Deere gives you the power to do more, so you can RUN [YOUR] WORLD.

A big highlight for our customers was our interactive Machine Monitoring Center (MMC) display. Visitors to our exhibit learned how John Deere and our dealers are working together to deliver unprecedented levels of uptime. You can learn more about how we are enhancing machine-monitoring technologies and product support in the cover story starting on page 4. This is the future of our business.

Our big iron is always a big draw, and we had nearly 40 machines on display. This included our beefed-up lineup of heavy equipment, such as our new 950K Dozer, our 620G and 622G Motor Graders, and our 260E and 310E Articulated Dump Trucks. To mark the 50th anniversary of our graders, we displayed a restored 570 Motor Grader. We also showed off our latest customer-inspired compact machines: the new G-Series Skid Steers and Compact Track Loaders.

For the last 18 months, we’ve been focused on filling out and continuing to improve our equipment line to meet our customers’ needs. Now that our product line is even more complete, we’re excited to turn our focus from machine specs to you. Through efforts like the MMC and working with our dealers to refine machine-monitoring capabilities, we’re using technology to deliver enhanced solutions for increased productivity, uptime, and efficiency.

So you can do more than simply move earth. You can RUN [YOUR] WORLD.

Now that our product line is even more complete, we’re excited to turn our focus from machine specs to you.

COVER STORY

T H E D A T A R E V O L U T I O N I S

And our new centralized Machine

Health Monitoring Center (MHMC)

takes machine monitoring to the

next level. Data collected from

thousands of connected John Deere

machines is analyzed by specialists

in order to identify trends that will

help improve the service, support,

and current and future design of

our machines.

“It’s all about delivering unprece-

dented levels of uptime to our

customers,” says Tim Worthington,

Manager, Product Support Services.

“Machine monitoring isn’t just about

reacting. It’s about being proactive

UPTIME IS EVERYTHING in your fast-paced, ever-

changing world. You need reliable machines that deliver

maximum productivity while keeping operating costs

low. Because you have big jobs to finish, on schedule

and on budget.

We’re watching your fleet, so you can run your world. At

the local level, John Deere dealerships continue to refine

and bolster their remote-monitoring capability to track

the health of your machines in the field. This helps them

respond to critical issues more quickly and efficiently before

they can cause costly downtime.

and preventing issues in the future.

The Machine Health Monitoring

Center gives the ability to look at

data on a broad population of over

90,000 customer machines and

what’s happening on a daily basis.”

MORE LOCAL SUPPORT

Dealers are on the front line of

monitoring customer machines

for potential issues. Most of our

construction machines come with

five years of JDLink™ machine telematics service. This gives our

dealers the capability to monitor

your fleet around the clock through their individual Machine

Monitoring Centers.

Response time is quick, so many

problems can be addressed before

they cause a major unplanned

downtime event. Remote diag-

nostics and programming enable

your dealer to read codes and record

performance data without even

having to make a trip to the jobsite.

And if a jobsite visit is warranted,

remote diagnostics can help the

technician show up with the right

parts the first time.

COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE

To support our dealer efforts,

we developed the MHMC and

debuted it at CONEXPO-CON/

AGG® with an impressive interactive

display of its capabilities. Located inside John Deere Dubuque Works,

where we design and build many

of our machines, the MHMC is

positioned strategically near our

engineering teams, product experts,

and assembly lines.

“Data coming off the machines may reveal an issue we can easily

fix on the assembly line,” says Worthington. “It also provides

information we can use to improve

current and future features on our

machines to provide more value to

our customers.”

By aggregating and analyzing data

from thousands of machines, the

MHMC can identify trends that

warrant a closer look. This helps

us identify problems that may not

surface on a local level and develop

new, improved maintenance and

repair protocols that the dealer

can leverage.

The MHMC will help us be more

able to predict downtime better

than ever before and give our

dealers a prescription for how to

avoid it. “Our dealers are closest to

the customer, but they are focused

on a finite number of machines,” says Worthington. “By looking at

the bigger picture, we can respond

to issues that are affecting a broader population of machines

much more quickly. And dealers

will be able to leverage insight they

wouldn’t have been able to obtain

on their own.”

Through the support of your local

John Deere dealer and the MHMC,

you’ll be able to more effectively reduce downtime. “It’s pretty

amazing, really,” says Worthington.

“This experience is something vastly

different than our customers have experienced before. We’re drawing

on the collective intelligence of

the entire machine population.

Ultimately, we’re here to really

focus on customers and keep

them up and running. So they

can run their world.”

SEE HOW IT WORKS


At its 36 locations in North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, James River Equipment (JRE) has worked hard to ensure its customers realize the maximum benefits of John Deere WorkSight™ — the exclusive suite of technology solutions that includes JDLink. The dealership’s seven tech-nology specialists work with approxi-mately 550 customers who use JDLink on nearly 3,800 machines.

Four of JRE’s dealership locations have a dedicated John Deere Work-Sight technology room featuring a large monitor. “We can sit down with a customer and walk them through JDLink,” says Billy Stonerock, JRE

WorkSight Solutions Consultant, Raleigh. “It’s a great way to show them how it works and how it can benefit them.”

JRE’s technology specialists handle hundreds of alerts per day, either contacting the customer directly or passing the information on to a service manager or field dispatcher. “If we see an alert related to low coolant, hydraulic fluid, and oil pres-sure, I’ll get on the phone with the customer to let them know what’s going on,” says Data Analyst Mike Posey. “They can notify the crew to see what the problem is, like a blown hydraulic line. Often, we’ll catch an

issue before it becomes a larger prob-lem or catastrophic failure.”

The team can also detect a problem using remote diagnostics and pro-gramming. “If we need boots on the ground, we’ll send the information over to the service department, and they’ll dispatch a service truck with the right part in hand,” says Technol-ogy Specialist Leo Wambold. “In the past we’d wait for the customer to call and send a technician to perform a diagnosis on site. The technician would have to return to the shop, get the part, and then return to the machine for the repair. Remote diagnosis can save hours of machine downtime.”

RANCH HANDS

To help complete a never-ending list of chores, the Millenkamps run 40 John Deere four-wheel- drive loaders, including 35 recently purchased 544Ks.

Ten of the new loaders are used for feeding, 15 for manure

and bedding, and the rest

for construction and other

miscellaneous tasks.

“I’ve been really happy with

John Deere equipment,” says Bill. “Deere was the first loader we bought, and we’ve never

had a reason to look anyplace else. We’re Deere people! We rarely have issues, and our dealer,

Coastline Equipment, stands

behind the equipment, providing

the service and support we need

to stay up and running. We have

100,000 animals to care for, and

we need our equipment to run

every day.”

We’re Deerepeople!

Bill Millenkamp, owner, Millenkamp Cattle

Millenkamp Cattle cares for over 100,000 head with the help of Deere 544Ks

Idaho is known for its

“famous potatoes,” as it

says right on the state’s

license plate. But this is

cattle country, too. In fact,

Idaho is the third largest

milk-producing state in

the country.

Idaho provided the perfect location

for Bill and Susie Millenkamp to start their calf-raising operation 20 years ago. On a small line of credit,

the Millenkamps began with just a few dozen head on 40 acres.

Today, in addition to raising calves, the couple also operates a dairy

farm and feedlot. They manage around 100,000 head of livestock between the calf-raising facility,

the dairy, and the feedlot. That’s a lot of mouths to feed and

housing to clean and bed.

Millenkamp Cattle’s state-of-the-art milking facility is one of the most technologically

advanced in the country.


12 THE DIRT

To keep tabs on the fleet of new 544Ks, Millenkamp uses JDLink machine monitoring. “We can

access machine hours and location,

and get machine-health alerts. This allows us to quickly diagnose an issue with a piece of equipment

and address it before it becomes

a major problem. This saves time and money on extra service calls.”

HARDEST JOB IN THE WORLD

Bill was born and raised in eastern

Iowa, where his dad was a dairy-

cattle dealer. After high school,

Bill moved to Klamath Falls,

Oregon, and went to work for the DeJongs, a well-known Dutch dairy family. It was there he

met Susie. After the couple got

married, they looked for a place to start their calf-raising operation,

including California, Washington,

and Idaho. “At the time, Tulare, California, was booming. But we

liked Idaho the best. I liked the hunting and fishing, and we both liked the lifestyle Idaho has to offer.”

The Millenkamps raise calves for approximately 40 local dairies.

New calves as young as one-day-

old arrive daily, and they stay up

to seven months. The work is incredibly labor intensive. Calves

must be kept comfortable, well fed, and free from sickness. Bottle feeding alone requires the help

of 150 workers who hand-deliver thousands of bottles to the calves

several times a day. And each

bottle must be cleaned.

“Raising calves is one of the most

difficult jobs in the cattle industry,” says Bill. “It’s kind of like a daycare center. We keep everything metic-ulously clean and do everything

we can to keep all the livestock comfortable and healthy. We’re

really good at what we do, and

that’s why we’ve grown over

the years.”

JERSEY GIRLS

The Millenkamps’ dairy farm, also known as Idaho Jersey Girls, is in Malta, which is about 80 miles

east of Jerome.

Most of the dairy cows are Jerseys,

which produce a higher content of

fat and protein that is highly valued

by the dairy’s customers, such as

Glanbia, a major cheese producer.

Currently Glanbia is picking up a tanker of milk from Idaho Jersey Girls every two hours.

The Millenkamps’ state-of-the-art facility is one of the most

technologically advanced milking centers in the country. It features

two 106-stall rotary parlors under one roof. Thousands of cows are milked there daily.

FANUC Robots keep the cows sanitized at the Millenkamps’ state-of-the-art dairy farm.

perform the pre-milking sanitation and stimulation steps as well as the

post-milking application of a teat sanitizer. Millenkamp says, “Cows thrive on comfort, cleanliness, and

consistency, and that is what this

milking center and its employees deliver 24/7.” Millenkamp Cattle LLC is serviced by

Coastline Equipment, Jerome, Idaho.

When he was a boy,

Bill Millenkamp attended

a Gold Key event with his father. Decades later, Millenkamp brought

his father, Tom, and his eight-year-old son, Johnny, to a recent Gold Key event at John Deere

Davenport Works. After being flown in courtesy of his dealer, Coastline Equipment, Millenkamp took a factory tour and was presented with a Gold Key at the end of the assembly line for one of his 35 new Deere 544K Loaders.

“ We had a great time touring the plant. From the time you show up until

the time you leave, there is just a very strong sense of pride. Everyone is just very passionate about their job, from the people who work on the line to the plant manager. It’s a very impressive operation.”

At John Deere, anniversaries are always significant events. So when the calendar turned to 2017, we were excited for another celebration to get underway. In case you haven’t heard, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the JD570, Deere’s first “official” entry into the motor grader market.

The JD570 holds a special place in our company’s history. It was produced in our Moline factory from 1967–70. And prominent among its many features were front-wheel and articulated-frame steering — industry-first innovations that provided the foundation for what our motor grader line has evolved into today.

To help us commemorate the JD570 Motor Grader’s debut, we went in search of an original machine. With help from our dealer network, we eventually found one, but it had clearly seen better days. So we enlisted two of Deere’s very own — Dubuque Works retirees Don Bagby and Jerry Bode — to restore it to its original glory.

After approximately 2,200 hours spent meticulously bringing the machine back to life,

Don and Jerry turned it over to us — and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. When all was said and done, the two men sat down with us to reflect on the experience.

Here’s what they had to say:

So how did you guys get involved with the JD570 restoration project?

Jerry: One day, I ran into a friend and former co-worker of mine who still works at John Deere Dubuque Works. He knows I’ve restored some big machines over the years. So he asked if I’d be interested in working with Deere to restore a 570 Motor Grader. And I said yes — but only if I could work with Don (laughing).

How did it end up being this particular machine?

Don: Deere sent out a notice to all its dealers that the company was looking for a 570 to restore. They located one in western

Nebraska, and boy, was it in rough condition. When we first looked at it, we didn’t know how or where we’d start. But we knew we wanted to work on it.

How did Deere aid you in the restoration process?

Don: From the very beginning we worked with Greg Swift at Dubuque Works. He was the liaison between the Deere factory and us. If we needed something or ran into an issue, the first thing we did was contact Greg. We were always calling to have him check the PDC (Parts Distribution Center) for the availability and cost of parts.

Jerry: We also had a good relationship with Martin Equipment, a local Deere dealer in Dubuque, Iowa. They were always willing to help. When we were looking for a part that was no longer available from the PDC, Martin Equipment would check to see if it might be in another dealer’s inventory.

Was it hard to find original parts?

Don: A lot of the parts we wanted weren’t available. And some of the parts that were available were too expensive. In those cases, we improvised. For example, we completely rebuilt the steering column using fiberglass.

FROM THE GROUND UP

P R E S E R V I N G A L E G A C Y

We couldn’t get a new engine hood, so we repaired that on our own. And we completely rebuilt all the wiring harnesses…28 wires, one wire at a time, with correct color codes, connectors, and not one blown fuse!

Were the original JD570 schematics helpful?

Jerry: No — we didn’t have them (laughing). We took this 570 all the way down to the bare frame and rebuilt it with little more than an old service manual to guide us. We had PDFs of the original parts book and operator manual, too. From those we were able to replicate and piece things together as they were originally. Plus, we documented every disassembly step with pictures so we could see how everything went back together — we had over 700 pictures in all.

Was there a part of the process that proved more challenging than anticipated?

Jerry: Everything we worked on was taken down to bare metal for priming and repainting. We were dealing with 10-plus gallons of

code-correct John Deere construction yellow (TY25678) paint. To ensure even coloration, we mixed each individual gallon, combined them in a large container, mixed it all again, and transferred it back into the original gallon paint cans. It was a lot of work, but it’s small price to pay for a good paint job (smiling).

Don: On the other hand, what we thought was going to be a big problem turned out to be a fairly easy issue. The 570 featured the four-legged stag Deere logo decal on the fuel tank. But that decal isn’t available through Deere anymore. We weren’t going to settle for an inauthentic detail — especially one that important. So we contacted the original decal supplier and arranged for a high-quality reproduction.

Is there anything about the finished product that makes you particularly proud?

Don: No detail was too small. Everything on this machine works as it should — and we’re really proud of that. For example, the original cab defroster fan included a light that indicated fan speed. It didn’t do anything when we got it. But now it works like new (smiling).

Any given day at Saloom Properties

of Evergreen, Alabama, includes

many tasks and challenges, from

building and maintaining roads

and fire lanes, to moving logs and clearing land. For the really big jobs,

Saloom seeks help from neighbors,

consulting foresters, and friends.

But he and his family do nearly all

the day-to-day work themselves.

“You’re talking to my workforce,”

he says, laughing. “I like to say

that I do 99 percent of the work

on this farm — 100 percent of the

time. But the truth is that nothing

would get done without my wife.”

Experience taught Saloom that a

company is only as productive as

the equipment it uses. And when

it comes to keeping his operation

moving forward, he chooses

John Deere.

By definition, Saloom is retired.

But retirement isn’t a word he

believes in. And though he doesn’t

consider tree farming his livelihood,

he admits that most of his so-called

retirement is spent managing his

land. “Managing this forest is what

I do,” says Saloom. “I used to

balance it with practicing surgery.

But now my focus is here.”

__________

Salem Saloom isn’t just your “typical” general surgeon turned tree farmer. Owned with his wife, Dianne, and son, Patrick, Saloom Properties, LLC is revitalizing approximately 2,200 acres of Southeast Alabama forest located in the heart of America’s original longleaf pine range.


17

DEERE IN THE WOODS

Saloom’s John Deere fleet began to take shape in 1984 with the purchase of a 1530 Tractor. “A three-cylinder, refurbished model a local dealer was selling,” he says with a smile. “It’s still here, and it still works.”

Over time, Saloom continued to add Deere equipment to his fleet, including a 450J LGP Dozer, a 310SE Backhoe Loader, a 5420 Tractor, and plenty of Worksite Pro™ attachments to boot. And he utilizes each machine well outside of what most other operators would call “typical” use.

“My 5420 Tractor was built for ag, but I’ll tell you right now, it’s as effective in the woods as it is in a field.”

Saloom attributes Deere’s versa- tility and reliability to the work- manship that goes into each machine. “I have friends who use competing brands, and I can tell you there’s no comparison,” he says. “John Deere is very proud of its products and parts. And that attention to detail is helping tree farmers like me restore and conserve this longleaf pine range.”

BACKBONE OF AMERICA

From the early to mid-1800s — before the age of mass-produced steel — the longleaf pine’s dense, durable, and rot-resistant lumber was America’s building material of choice. But years of extensive logging took its toll, and only a fraction of the original old-growth longleaf range survives today.

In recent years, the federal

the longleaf and other diminishing

timber species. “Now there are

88,000 Certified American Tree Farms all across the United States,”

says Saloom. “That’s a big voice.”

This is Saloom’s tenth year planting longleaf. By the end

of 2016, he will have planted just over 1,000 acres of these

storied pines on his land. In the

process, he will help revitalize a native ecosystem that, without

intervention from conscientious

landowners like him, will continue to disappear.

DEEP ROOTS

When asked if he’s realized a return on his investment in Deere equipment, Saloom’s answer is

a firm yes. But for him, return on investment transcends dollars and

cents. “This equipment has paid for itself over and over in many

ways,” says Saloom. “Just walk our property and see what kind of land management is being done with

the help of our Deere equipment— the answer is clear. Our forest-

management and -conservation

work is beneficial for all of society.”

Saloom Properties, LLC is serviced

by Beard Equipment Co., Pensacola,
